Chairman of the Board: A Practical Guide

Book Description

Practical, real-world advice for the most challenging of positions
The role of the chairman of the board is an art form that varies with the size, type, and corporate climate of the organization. Chairman of the Board provides practical guidance on this critical role, offering advice on matters such as how to work with the CEO, ethical considerations, corporate social responsibility, and performance evaluation of boards and board members. Seasoned executive Brian Lechem discusses regulatory requirements and legal exposures relating to board responsibilities and how to minimize risks to company resources. Real-life examples illustrate how challenges have been met by companies with both positive and negative results. Information on board regulations for not-for-profit and government agencies and Canadian and U.K. companies lends the book broad appeal.

This book delivers ........2007-02-08

This book gives you what it says it offers: insights in international negotiation. It is not a book you read in one greedy gulp, but in
exciting chapters about as diverse subjects as international diplomacy, scientific analyses of processes of negotiation, multicultiural aspects of conflict resolution etc.
This book has recently been updated and that makes it a valuable contribution to that small stack of true, as in rich and multifacetted, handbooks.

Book Description

Developing countries will make increasing use of their natural gas reserves in the future. Yet if they are to benefit from the full value of the resource, crucial investment decisions have to be made. These decisions involve large financial commitments for projects with long lifetimes and their accuracy can have a major influence not only on the future of a country's energy industrym but even on its economic health

Customer Reviews:

Excellent reference for engineers in the oil & natural gas business.......2007-08-28

I totally agree with the previous comment on this book, it is not a book for leisure, it is a guide to setup energy economic models, understand them and use them.

I bought this book in the year 2000, just when I was starting my BS thesis in Chem. Eng. By that time there were few detailed sources on energy pricing, most of them were written by and for financial analysts.

This book is big on theory and formulas, ways to tackle economic assesments, forecasts, pricing, financing, time value of money, fuel properties, and so on....The way it is structured helps a lot, specially for engineers, to get a deep understanding on how fuel markets, money, time, strategies, micro and macro economics are inter related.

I could, not easily though, to follow the majority of the chapters and setup my own spreadsheets and models to mimic in many cases the same example that was in the book (Pertamina, Indonesia), and use it for my thesis "natural gas penetration in the chilean market". The insight and knowledge I got from this book are unvaluable.

It is a serious book not for a reader, but for a doer.

A highly technical approach to the appraisal of projects.......2001-05-01

This is probably a good book for in depth theoretical approach to analyzing gas projects, but as a financial analyst that has modeled power plants and pipelines, this book did not supplement my appraisal skills, however misleading the title may be.

It is filled with formulas and complex theory that business people really dont need to know. I think that this book may be helpful for engineers, or academics, but is too detailed to be of use to the asset developer looking for good ways to appraise or financially model a pipeline project.

In short THIS IS NOT LEISURE READING MATERIAL, it does not flow from one paragraph to the other, and is jampacked with technical references that will make you pull your hair out.

I rated this three stars because I am sure that somebody will find the technical Blitzkrieg of the author useful, but it wont be financial analysts or business developers.
